TV series I adore while learning English

Oh honey! some one who wrote this must be hates American TV Series

The answer would be, yes, I do hate American Series, so that is why I recommend you these instead. XOXO

Disclaimer (not really a disclaimer) : most of these tv series are either British or Irish, I hate American English so don't expect me to put American TV Drama. I also would give you the link where to access it. 

1. The Inbetweeners

This British sitcom follows the lives of four socially awkward teenage boys-Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil who are trying to make it through adolescence, from disastrous dates to cringe-worthy school experiences. Set in suburban England, the show mixes sharp wit with outrageous humour as it captures the embarrassing reality of teenage life. It is also known for its quotable lines and painfully funny moments that relate to anyone who has ever felt like an awkward teen.

2. Derry Girls

Set in 1990s Derry, Northern Ireland, during The Troubles, this sitcom focuses on Erin, her eccentric group of friends, and their families. While political unrest is at the backdrop, the show shines with its hilarious portrayal of teenage drama, Catholic school life, and the bond between these misfit teens. Against the bleakness of their surroundings, the humour and heart of the series shine through the resilience and absurdity of growing up in such a time and place.

3. Ladhood 

 

This British series jumps between the adult life of Liam, a struggling millennial, and his teenage years in Leeds. Through the flashbacks, the formative friendships, first love, and toxic cultural pressures of being a "lad" are unpacked. Reflective humour in the show unfolds how these youthful mistakes and social norms shape Liam's adult insecurities and relationships in a mix of comedy and poignant life lessons.

4. The Young Offenders


This Irish comedy follows Conor and Jock, two teenage best friends and petty thieves, as they go through many hare-brained schemes in Cork. In bike theft, running away from the police, and navigating relationships, their antics are always chaotic yet endearing; there is a tale to be told of loyalty, camaraderie, and, more importantly, the fight against becoming adults in an unfavourable environment.

5. Normal People

Adapted from Sally Rooney's bestseller of the same name, this drama follows the will-they-won't-they relationship between Marianne and Connell through their high school years and into university in Ireland. Class, a lack of communication, and struggles with self often get in the way of their intense and powerful bond. A sensitive study in love, identity, and trauma, the show is disarmingly raw and intimate in considering how relationships change and alter us.

6. Chewing Gum

The comedy, written by and starring Michaela Coel, follows the life of Tracey Gordon, a 24-year-old London woman brought up in a strict religious setting. As she struggles through her sexual awakening and quest for independence, she finds herself in ridiculously awkward and chaotic situations. Blending raw humour with sharp social commentary, the show takes on issues such as race, religion, and sexuality while celebrating Tracey's unapologetic individuality and resilience.
